A Journey through My Diverse Passions

Posts Tagged ‘shirt’

Ever wonder what could become of your unused clothing? Turn them into new clothes!

A long skirt can be turned into a top. I took a long patterned skirt with green lining to create this tank top. I wanted the green fabric to be the majority of the shirt and the patterned fabric to be the accent. I also used the patterned fabric to make the skinny straps.

Two pairs of pants can be turned into a vest. I took a pair of grey pants and a pair of black pants that I no longer wore and made this vest. I used leftover lining from a previous project to line the inside. I used the black pants to create the ruffle around the bottom.

A man’s old button-up shirt can be turned into an apron. I used the back piece of a man’s old button-up shirt for the main part of the apron and used the sleeve and front fabric to make the straps. I had some satin fabric left over from another project to trim the pocket and make a flower for flair.

So go into your closet, pull out something that has been hanging in there for a year, and bring it back to life!
